This is a very good book about two kids, Aiden and Meg. There parents were convicted as terrorists, and Aiden and Meg are trying to get evidence to prove that they're not. In this series by Gordan Korman, there is action, adventure and a few wild ideas. 
I wouldn't recommend this book for a read aloud to younger kids simply because, to get themselves out of tough spots, Aiden and Meg do some pretty wild things (jumping off a building and landing using the shocks in a wheelchair.) You don't want any kid to do that stuff. However, it is so fun to read the stunts when you are older. Its one of those "You can do that?!!!!!" moments, and those stunts almost make the book.
I think this is a great series for kids who don't like reading. Its almost like a video game, watching the bad guys chase the good guys and stuff. Its just like the Lemony Snicket "Series of Unfortunate Events" almost anyone will like it. 
I didn't like that the series was in 6 different books that I had to locate and read. It would've fit into three nice books. Its only about 100 pages per book, but six books is just a lot of books to find and read. 
The characters are very connectable here, and you feel kinda clsoe to them in the end. The last book is by far the best one of all, because it has such a great ending.
 There is alos a series connected to this series about Meg getting kidnapped. I found it very annoying that the whole series doesn't really totally wrap up in the First series, and it finally wraps up in this other series that I happened to read. If I had gone without reading it, I would've missed a lot.
Even though I did complain about some things in this book/series, it was a good sereis overall, with plenty of twists to keep you interested.
So, since I did enjoy this book so much, it gets 4 stars from me and a place on my shelf.
